I hope you don't mind, but I just popped in to see if anyone would like to sign up to this year's Web Comic Secret Santa Exchange. If you've not head of the exchange before, it's pretty simple.

Anybody with an actively updated comic with 20 pages or more in the archive can sign up until the 4th of December. Your comic's name is put in a hat (an actual hat, because I'm low tech like that) with a bunch of others and by you'll receive your assignments by the 8th at the latest, with a deadline of the 19th to get them done.

You can set a maximum age rating you'd be happy to work on, so if you're not comfortable with more adult material you won't be assigned a more adult comic. Simple as that.

If your comic doesn't qualify you can still sign up as a Safety Net Elf, someone who's willing to help out in case someone can't get their assignment done. This is my second year running it and we had 31 people sign up for it last year with only one failing to do their assignment due to illness, but a Safety Net Elf stepped in and everyone got their gifts in time for Christmas anyway. We're running a bit short of that number at the moment, but we've still got a decent little list going and I'm confident we'll get a few more before the deadline, so if you're interested in signing up, or just want to see the gifts from the last five years head over to http://comicsecretsanta.blogspot.co.uk/ and take a look.
